- ? T=h^Stete PsirPaoi Southport, N. G. Published Every Wednesday JAMES M. HARPER, JR Editor Entered as second-class matter April 20, 1924; ?t the Post Office at Southport, N. C., under the Act of March 3, 1879. ? - ? - ?? - ? SUBSCRIPTION RATES ONE YEAR |1.50 SIX MONTHS : 1.00 THREE MONTHS 75 Wednesday, June 11, 1947 -- Good To Know Elsewhere in today's paper there is a report of the gracious acknowledg ment of the Chairman. of the State Can cer Society of the work done by Mrs. M. M. Rosenbaum, county chairman, during the recent drive for funds with which to combat this dread disease. What she had to say is very flatter ing to one of our most capable and energetic workers, and we take pride in the fact that every word said about Mrs. Rosenbaum and her work is true. But the most significant statement contained in this note is the one which gives a promise of help to persons in this county suffering from' this disease. We quote; ". . Let us know if at any time we can assist your county in the treatment of your indigent cancer pati ents." Another Kind Word Frank Plaxco, Jr., has just returned from Fishbum Military Academy, where he compiled an enviable. scholas tic record during his first year. This youngster is of more than aver age intelligence, and he has had the benefit of a favorable environment, and yet his instructors recognized that another important factor had figured in preparing him for his prep school ^courses of study. "You must have come from an un usually good grammar school", one of the Staunton officials observed only recently while commending him upon his high standard of scholarship dur ing the year just closed. This is the second instance within a jfepfcth Men tte haVe "ha3~the pleasure of- comparing-" -thr effect" of trainirfg in our local school system with tha't of other schools. In both cases it has de veloped that boys and girls who have done good work in the Sputhport schpol, have more than held their own when pitted up against the leaders from oth er schools. What is true of Southport school is, we' believe, true of other schools t in Brunswick couhty; and it" all adds up to the fact that our consolidated schools have weathered the" storm t>f tHe edu cational emergency brought on by the war in much better shape than have those in mdhy other sectiohs. The Quail Sh&w Up Jiist as we were at a loss last fall tc explaih the disappearance of quail, sc now are we amazed over the fact that the bob white mating call may be heard in almost any locality during the cur rent season. We have our fingers crossed, and we are pulling for a break frt>m the weath erman; for with a few weeks of good weather in which the young birds may make their start, we have hopes of a bumper crop of quails next fall. Bible School Daily Vacation Bible School gets underway here Monday, and we can think of no finer way for lively, wide awake boys and girls to spend a small part of their surfimer vacation than in attending these sessions. The school this year will afford an opportunity for combining the skill and the leadership of three outstanding protrstant ministers who serve thiscom munity It will be well worthwhile to make an effort to see that your young sters are enrolled in the Daily Vacation Bible School, and that they be faithful in their attendace. What We Need It is true enough that money doesn't flow free like water around here any more, but we grow tired of hearing dire Warnings of hard times, with fore casts that the next depression already is upon us. People always Hesitate to turn loose their money until they have some idea where more will come from. We be lieve that there is nothing wrong with local conditions that a good shrimping and fishing season will not be able to cure. V Rovin' Reporter (Continued from pate One) Hess it is an accidental repetition ?tg different woman or girl is ?ach week and it does hot if they are old or young. )t many people may know it lu, Grady Kilpatrick. Southport jneraf director, is in the way of being one of the oldest licensed undertakers in active service in North Carolina. They began li censing undertakers in 1907, and five years later Mr. Kilpotrack was given his license. In a way of speaking he" "was born in the business. His father was an un dertaker before him. that we would believe ?tther one of them told us their tobacco crop, but happens that through some or other neither Rice or Judge John B. Ward, of Waccamaw township, said anything to us yet it having their tobacco. Either fmething is wrong with the Jrop or from past association ?rith us those fellows are keep ing out of our way for the pre sent. S We are not sure just how Inany doctors, lawyers, judges, ftlerks of court and bums read his paper, and especially this olumn, but there are a whole Dt of them. Our fan mall this re$k seems to point to the fact hat there is also at least one ollege professor. Dr. B. W. Veils, head of the department of otany at State College, wrote o say that he thought Brun? rick county had one of the very est local papers in the state. ] le went on and added: "Mrs. Veils and I read all of it every reek. We especially enjoy Bill ! [eziah's column." .? J Several weeks have gone by 4fnce the body of Sgt. David J. juVoll was found in his car Xarked by the roadside just this ?de of the South Carolina State Jrre. Evidence indicated clearly 4e was not killed there. Local JJfficers lacked authority to pur Sie their investigations in another ?tate. The dead man was in the .grmed service. The Army Intel ligence Service entered, or is Jtid to have entered, the picture, 4ut from the speed at which the ? Jjise has been carried on and the attendant huah, hush policy, it begins to appear that Army In telligence is about as much on the job as it was before the Japanese made their attack on Pearl Harbor. Neils Jorgensen, Southport man who served in the Navy through out the war, has a new Croaley car in which some .. interesting features are embodied." The en gine was developed for Navy use during the war and weighs only 79 pounds. It used to be dropped by plane ahd parachute to sur vivors on mechanised life rafts. It has 27 horse power and with it the car easily makes 65 miles per hour. The robbery of a filling station and beer joint near Shallotte last week, with the reported loss of $2,000.00 in a small safe that was carried away bodily, points to several things: The small safes weighing only a few hundred pounds are of very little use as a protection for large sume of money;- in fact they can be pos tively dangerous as they may lead the owners into a feeling of false security. They may be al right for the temporary safety of small amounts, bat the fellow who stores large sums in a small safe is putting temptation in the way of some of his neigh bors in addition to running the risk of ' losing his money, llie banks are the safest place. Maybe it is because they never heard of any Babe Ruth among the giHs. There must be some reason.

Billy, after he had ac cented a poit as instructor in Spanish at the University, was offered a bigger job with higher pay at the same place. He will tefcfch political science this fall.

Reading in last week's paper of R. D.

Learning that we had a stitch in otfr back as a revolt of strenuous activity in digging fish worms, and couldn't come, Ernest said he would be showing up at South port to' take lis aboard some Sun day soon.
